This and that

• If Dexter Jackson's attempted retaliation against Hines Ward in the end zone after his late touchdown wasn't enough for you, maybe what Terrell Suggs wants to do to Ward will be.

• DDN's Carlos "Big C" Holmes writes about whether Ohio State's Beanie Wells or Michigan State's Javon Ringer (who went to Chaminade-Julienne High School) would look better in a Bengals uniform. But be sure to read the comments afterwards ... apparently there are just a few fans who think it would be a huge mistake for the Bengals to draft a running back with the first overall pick.

• No love for Derrick Brown or Deonta Vaughn or anything, but here are Sportsline's preseason All-Americans. (In case you missed it, Vaughn was named preseason Big East first team.)

• Former Reds and current Nationals GM Jim Bowden had skin cancer, but what makes this Washington Post story interesting is that doctors recommended surgery within a month and he ignored the advice, which he now acknowledges was a bad decision.

• Walt Jocketty says the Reds have opened negotiations with agents for David Weathers and Jerry Hairston Jr.

Also, Mark Sheldon's mailbag includes a question many fans have considered ever since the Reds acquired Micah Owings from the Diamondbacks.

• Top non-local link? Yahoo! ranks the Rayhawks.
